I would never play a game that has this feature, and it seems that many people feel the same way. But when I say "many people," I really mean just people on niche internet forums. I really don't think the general population gives a shit at all otherwise all these popular games would already be history.

But it does make the case of VAC interesting. So many people including pro players are complaining about how Valve is basically useless when it comes to anti-cheat, and they're correct, primarily because they don't use kernel level detection. I recently watched this video that suggests Valve has some long term vision for their unintrusive software lol. I just can't believe it because e-celebs draw in views, money, interest, etc. and pissing them off as well as the players buying your shit seems counterintuitive. They gotta be cooking up something rightr?

It seems to me that the players who do want a stronger anti-cheat don't care whether or not the studio is watching them whereas those who are adverse to kernel-level anti-cheat will likely not complain about a game being full of cheaters much.

I'm curious if an open-source anti-cheat consortium would be successful, or if this is one of the few cases where security through obfuscation might be the only way to protect anti-cheat software.

Also found out that the high level CS league ESEA has kernel level anti cheat and was caught mining bitcoin lol.

Not only did he do everything in service of the US empire, but there's not a single notable politician who disagrees with him or his agenda because it's also their agenda. Was he just the Trump before Trump, being indifferent about the optics?

"God damn Freemasons blocking the road again. I'm going to run them over with my horse"

"They dumped the WHAT?! That's it. I'm pro monarchy now."

"Benedict Arnold was a supporter of the RULE OF LAW"

let people en-

No. Fuck off

CNN asked his reps about the claims of cannibalism and their response was boot licking and referencing Trump lol

Reading about Jack the Ripper, and one of the favorite suspects is Walter Sickert because he’s a painter who became associated with JTR. A painter-serial killer is a pretty grim combo, but I believe the theory was introduced in the late 70s and discredited.

But it got me thinking how you could live a seemingly normal life, maybe even be a random witness to a crime. But then some hack 100 years later will comb through the files and see if your name was ever the main subject, and if not, suddenly they got 500 pages dedicated to your life and shady behavior. Then it reaches the NYT Best Seller.

Investigators and researchers may dismiss it or even acquit you if the author is convincing enough. But still. Imagine your only legacy is showing up in the search results of murder or terrorist suspects.
